An absolute Masters Class in drumming discussion and music. I could listen to Reid speak all day...and listen to he and his corps play that great music with such appreciation. Thanks for this one Jim!
Great comments about scoring drum parts for competition and judging Grades 4 and 5 -- Smooth and Accurate is great advice for drummers and pipers alike. Another great interview! Thanks Reid and Jim for keeping us engaged during these weird bandless days.
At 17:15 Reid cites the City of Glasgow Pipe Band's "Brigadier Cheape" set with drum score by Willie Connell. It can be heard here: ruclips.net/video/hVd0Sn3WW6g/видео.html
@ 9:54, Reid mentions his last contest with the 78th Fraser Highlanders. Here is that performance: ruclips.net/video/4jqlPAbPV_o/видео.html Fantastic medley; love the _tacet_ of the drums for the first bars of the closing jig, "Eileen MacDonald," and then the score after that. Who was the lead drummer of the 78th Fraser Highlanders in 1982, Reid's first year with them before he took over as lead tip?

The "Elephants..... and Old Macdonald" ideas for teaching are GOLD!!

Reid. You made my day in June 1996 here in Chicago when I was best bass in grade 4 with one stick.. thanks forever.
What a gift!
This was an incredible session. So very much to learn from here. Thank you Jim, and thank you Reid!

Has to be the best ensemble L/D of all time.
I like the keeping things simple. Reid - Were you with Dysart the year Bob wrote the Banjo Breakdown Medley? Very interesting history.
Yes he was. Reid Left Dysart after 1981 SEASON in Scotland 100%
One more question - Didn't the 78'th have the Lions & Tigers & Bears fanfare? I like the concept of using songs to teach the basics!

Think I recognize that bass head on the right 👍
I recognize the one on the left! Played be the legendary George McKillop.
